The weekly reported that the senior Yemeni journalist Abdulbari Taher, who was once President of Yemeni Journalists Syndicate, attributed the escalating Sa'ada fighting to failure of 26 Revolution to reach its sought goals, plus the spread of corruption, injustice and oppression. In the paper presented during inaugurating a campaign entitled “Together Against Sa'ada Fighting”, Taher said that Sa'ada is deprived of all the basic services and the governorate has only one hospital, which was built at the expense of Saudi Arabia. He commented, “Instead of establishing service projects in the remote governorate, the authorities mobilized tanks and mortars to Sa'ada.”
Condemning rebellion, Taher confirmed that war is always the result of the spread of oppression and injustice, warning that Sa'ada crisis may grow into a nationwide catastrophe. According to the senior journalist, the crisis can be only resolved by a comprehensive dialogue. Under the slogan “Together Against the Sa'ada Fighting”, a popular campaign was launched in Sana'a as part of a series of efforts to end the bloody clashes between the government troops and Al-Houthi supporters.
